Thiago Silva & Nunes are legit
Better than the 10 guys Ankalaev fought.

Yep sure look like that
These insane russian dudes will start flooding the UFC more and more.
There are right now probably so many crazy foreign kickboxers, sambo dudes, Muay Thai masters etc. that could probably come in and claim UFC gold in many divisions right now we have yet to discover.
I think in the next ten years there will also be a huge influx of young fighters that are still kids right now, but that have been training at the highest level their whole lives so most of their brain cells are literally just fine tuned to the fight game so they don't even need to think about complex striking techniques, footwork defense all the mma stuff at all.. it just comes naturally like breathing.
Sage is a good example, and though he hasn't had quite the original success many people we anticipating he still probably had a long career ahead of him. It's only a matter of time until we see loads of child prodigy fighters grow up and start buzzing down divisions like a forest being clear cut for logs.
I agree.
I also think a lot of what you are describing is a mostly American based company expanding to a more international reach.
This is also why PRIDE was the bigger and grander stage than the UFC was. UFC has always favored and promoted stars that can speak English. In Japan, they had Russians, Croatians, Brazilians, Americans, Japanese, and Lithuanians...fighters of every country. It is also why many of their promos featured little to zero dialogue, because the audiences all spoke different languages. And the times where there was a narrator, it was relaxed and monotone and not forced and screaming like Rogan.
Instead of trash talk and fake hype, the PRIDE production team usually focused on stories told without dialogue, like training footage and they loved to capture raw human emotion.
Sorry for the rant. Just the whole international flavor made me think of PRIDE
They are finally getting there.UFC is pretty international, look at the roster on wiki.
If you are interested from what I've seen in Russia most fans thinks that best prospects (who didn't fought in big orgs) in Russia at LHW are Ankalaev or Rashid Yusupov.Meh, I thinks the best lhw outside UFC & Bellator is this Guy
